Question

the thermometer shows what the temperature outside was early in the morning. if the temperature has dropped 24°, what should the new temperature be? 90° 80° 70° 60° 50° 40° 30° 20° 39° 41° 51° 54°

Explanation:

Step1: Determine initial temperature

The thermometer shows the initial temperature is $65^{\circ}$ (by observing the level of the red - liquid in the thermometer).

Step2: Calculate new temperature

The temperature has dropped $24^{\circ}$. So we subtract 24 from the initial temperature. Let the new temperature be $T$. Then $T = 65 - 24$.
$T=41^{\circ}$

Answer:

$41^{\circ}$
